The Galleria's Revamped Saks Wing Is Now Open

The first wave of stores in the former Saks space include Coach, Tumi, Sam Edelman and Ted Baker.

What I love most about the Galleria is you can't step in the same Galleria twice—the mall is always changing, always growing. That's especially been the case since 2015, with the former Saks Fifth Avenue space transforming into a modern, multi-level mall extension (anchored by the new Saks Fifth Avenue, which opened in April 2016).

This weekend marked the official debut of Galleria VI, with 110,000 square feet of retail and 35 new retail and restaurant concepts planned. Some are still to come—notably dining options like Nobu, Fig & Olive and Spice Route—but shoppers can currently check out the first wave of openings, including Ted Baker, Sam Edelman, Lacoste, St. John, Cole Haan, Tumi, Coach, True Religion, AG Adriano Goldschmied and kate spade new york. At least five more shops are scheduled to open soon.
